British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been revealed to be drawing up plans to lift all remaining legal restrictions on the coronavirus in the UK, including quarantine requirements, according to the BBC.
Johnson believes the end of restrictions will "mark a proud moment as we begin to learn to live with Covid-19".
In response, multiple experts and officials urged Johnson to exercise caution.
About 300 scientists and medical staff have issued an open letter questioning the scientific basis for the British government's decision to end measures such as free testing and isolation of new crown cases.
Labour's health spokesman said Johnson was trying to divert attention from his personal scandal.
According to Reuters, citing the latest epidemic statistics, 1 in 20 people in the UK are infected with the new crown, and the cumulative death toll in the country has exceeded 160,000.
